How to play as Tahm Kench

Do not activate Thick Skin's shield while Renekton still has empowered W ready; let his short combo finish so the stored health can heal, then shield or trade after he spends his abilities.

Respect Renekton before level 6 and save Devour for after he uses his dashes, when he has fewer ways to escape or reset the trade.

Renekton's empowered W destroys damage shields, so it can remove Tahm E's active shield during the stun; Tahm's stored grey health still remains available for its passive healing.
